OVERVIEW: The Giraffe is a mobile, medium range air identification and surveillance radar. Giraffe is a powerful 3D
surveillance radar system and Command and Control system intended for short and medium-range surveillance and
ground based air defence. In addition it can also warn of incoming rocket, artillery and mortar rounds, as well as provide
coastal surveillance.

DETAILS: The Giraffe is a frequency agile, low to medium altitude pulse doppler air search radar and combat control
center which can be used in mobile or static short to medium range air defense applications. Giraffe is designed to detect
low-altitude, low cross-section aircraft targets in conditions of severe clutter and electronic countermeasures. When
equipped as an air-defense command center Giraffe provides an air picture to each firing battery using manpack radio
communication. It is normally housed in a single 6m long shelter mounted on an all-terrain vehicle for high mobility.
